TREM DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY

Christ through His death has utterly destroyed everything that gave the enemy a legal hold over our lives. Therefore, the enemy can no longer bring any accusation whatsoever against you before God. However, that is not the end of it; the victory that Christ wrought for you as a believer did not stop with Him stripping the devil of the rights to waylay and harass you, He went further.

Apostle Paul points this out in the book of Colossians 2:15. I particularly like the way the Message translation captures it: “He stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets.” (MSG). Did you see that?

The Bible calls them “spiritual tyrants”, having “sham authority.” Not just that, they were all disgraced publicly. In the old Roman tradition, whenever victory parades were conducted after the soldiers returned from the war, their captives were dragged on the streets, naked and bound in chains to show complete dominance over their enemies.

That is exactly what Christ did to the devil. He has shamed and disgraced the enemy! Child of God what does that tell you? The enemy that you’re afraid of is completely defeated and is now afraid of you. Jesus has won total victory for you. There is no more battle to fight! Rather, all that you need to do is to stand on the existing victory that Christ wrought for you and enforce it.

The devil plays on the ignorance of believers and deceives them. This is why you must know and enforce what Christ has done for you. Stand your ground against the enemy in whatever shape or form he comes against you, and enforce your victory.

I declare over your life that you will win in all competitions of life. No devil will steal or truncate the plan of God for your life. I bless you in Jesus name.
